Great Big School Clean 22/3 -23/4

This year’s Great Big School Clean will take place between 22 March -23 April 2019.

To help celebrate the start of the #GBSchoolClean on 22 March we would like all schools across the country to take part in the largest schools’ clean-up ever!

Sign up and take part in the Great Big School Clean and your school could be in with a chance of winning £1,000 of equipment, thanks to Great Big Spring Clean’s headline sponsor Wilko.All you have to do to enter the competition is register a clean-up. The winning school will also have the chance to take part in a filming session with Wilko. Terms and conditions apply and are available on their website: https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/great-big-school-cleanYour school’s involvement does not need to be an overwhelming, massive, all day production. You can plan your school’s involvement for a time that works with your school’s schedule.

Select a group of children such as your Eco Group, your Student Council, or your Year 5/6 Classes, etc to litter pick in your local community’s area.

Still not convinced you will be able to fit a litter pick into your school’s busy schedule? Perhaps promoting a “Morning School Run Litter Pick” would enable your students the opportunity to participate on their way into school and you can still enter your school into the competition to win the £1000 worth of Wilko products! Children under their parents/carers guidance can collect litter on the way in to school or even just around where they park the car, and register their efforts during the morning role call. Maybe have a small prize for the class with the most participation.If your school IS interested in participating, but you don’t have time to register, simply reply to this email detailing the following information:

what specific group of students will be litter picking

your contact information

the date your school will have the litter pick

IF bag collection is available, where the preferred collection point would be. (if it is a small event, you can make use your normal rubbish receptacles).

In return, in coordination with the Isle of Wight Council, I will:

log your event on the Great British Spring Clean event map

forward your information to have your school’s participation included with coverage in the general press release announcing Isle of Wight’s participation along with further coverage over the Isle of Wight Council’s social media pre and post event. Send in lots of photos of your event so the Isle of Wight Council can include them in press coverage!

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require additional information or if you have any questions.Let’s take responsibility for our environment and be the change we want to see on our gorgeous Island, one piece of litter at a time!
